To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, ERNST DossMANN,farmer, a subject of the Emperor ofGermany, residing at Prillwitz, near Eichberg, county of Filehne,Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows ofPotato- Diggers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of my invention.

In. the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of myplows, whichare constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section on the line w as, Fig. 1.

My plows or shovels a, bent in form of a scoop extending downwardly andwith their points against each other, are suitably attached near theback end each to a longitudinal side of a potato-digger frame 6. Theseplows or shovels a are provided above with a shaft 0 of suitable form,which is able to slide in sockets d, fastened to the frame 6, therebymaking V the plows adjustable in height. The shafts 0 are fixed in thesockets d by screws It.

The plows are adapted to enter the row of potatoes and discharge theearth over the said plows. The cutting edges g are curved from the frontedge to the back edge, forming thereby ,points 6. These points are bentsomewhat upwardly and the back edges 4 somewhat out- Wardly.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is t In a potato-digger'the combination of twoopposite plows each bent in form of a scoop, having curved cutting edgeswith points being bent somewhat upward and the back edges of theplows'being bent somewhat out- I Witnesses:
